Just a mole and a shark.
We went on a boat trip where we saw a small restaurant / dining table alone on an island. Also a small shark. We also got a happy anniversary card at the restaurant.
Arrival by sea plane, hanging out, and some bioluminescent plankton.
We visited Kat's favourite restaurant to round-off the trip. See you at the end of the month, Mole!
The shared taxi station to return to Allenby Bridge is near the Damascus Gate, under the Golden Walls Hotel in a price car park. It's easy to miss.
We visited Gethsemane, the Kidron Valley, and reentered Old Jerusalem through the Lion Gate.
The streets were crowded so we looped around the south walls of the Old City. It was well worth the walk! Connecting the Jaffa, Zion, and Dung Gates, through the Armenian Quarter, and taking in viewsRead more
We visited the Israel Museum. It was good, very big, very interesting exhibitions and sculpture garden. Highlights included a 9,000 year old sculpture and Sigmund Freud's rings.
We're staying in the St. George Cathedral Guesthouse and drinking in the American Colony Hotel Cellar Bar. Sting stayed here. I recommend both.
